TBRI Tip #18: Reboot Your Training

Complex developmental trauma impacts so many aspects in a child’s life that traditional methods of parenting and teaching often don’t work. TBRI training is needed by everyone that interacts with a child who has a trauma history so they can thrive now, in spite of their history.

TBRI is an attachment-based, evidence-based, and trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors.

Adults trained in TBRI can change the trajectory of a child who experienced trauma because new interventions and interactions rewire the child’s brain. As their brain changes, the child is able to heal and get back online to their appropriate developmental trajectory. TBRI is for all types of caregivers including foster and adoptive parents, teachers of kids from trauma backgrounds and professionals working with these families and kids. TBRI can be applied to all age levels and in any setting including schools, homes, residential settings and orphanages.
